<snip discussion of Romanization of Chinese kanji>

Well, how do you feel about the names Ranma Satome, Soon Tendo, and 

Ukyo

Kunoji? I've seen these in fanfics -- and to the their credit, the
people who wrote them all corrected them when I pointed them out.

I don't see how "Xian Pu" is any less wrong than the above, or any less
wrong than spelling the Japanese word for uncute as "kauaiyikunei,"
which would likely earn one a right good @bapping on the FFML. :)

Okay, okay.  I stand corrected.  I'll change it in the version I put on 
my website (assuming Transy's system administrators ever fix the 
firewall so I can put up a website).  Now, can we please end this silly 
argument?
